Sometimes it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed in the morning. I woke up at 6:30 this morning only to find my wireless network was kind of buggy. Renamed the network, reset the password and adjusted the damn wireless router in my closet… still no speed. Then I disconnected the the thing a few times, took the laptop into the closet and it’s quick as hell. Once I got back to my desk, still slow as fuck. What the hell! It’s only 15 feet away! So now it’s sitting on a stool in my closet door just peeking around the corner and finally I get a quick network. The wireless network itself seems to be strong according to my Airport signal but every time I move the damn router it’s slow as hell. I guess I’ll be working like this today. Screw it, it has to be done, haha. Goes to show you sometimes you just can’t reach it….... Permalink

Today was no exception. After a pretty decent weekend I woke up this morning and rode out to my CPA on PGA Blvd to pick up my taxes. The bike’s been running odd lately so I was just taking it easy. As I pull off the exit for PGA I downshifted to first, then neutral (my bike doesn’t show what gear it’s in). Neutral felt kind of loose to get in the shifter under my left foot was acting weird. So I took off in first and tried to go to second when nothing… it wouldn’t shift. The entire pedal... Continue Reading

Yeah, today was kind of interesting. After a quick ride out to the beach yesterday doing just a surf check the bike began acting up once again. Mother fucker! So when I finally got the SV650 home I called the bike shop. They were kind of swamped so I said I’d take it in this morning. So I head down to the garage and fire it up, completely expecting it to not run well but oddly it ran just fine. I decided to head over to the shop anyway and see if it would act up on the ride over….nothing.... Continue Reading

Wow, there are stressful weeks and there are stressful weeks. This week was to be a hair graying week for sure. With two sites due by Wednesday noon and a full site design comp I had a ton of work to get done in two and half days. On top of that I found out my motorcycle had a flat back tire. It was a brand new tire (3-4 months old) so I must have ridden over something nasty, good thing it was a slow leak. Now having a flat in a car is fairly simple, put the spare on... Continue Reading

Over the past week there’s been a rash of robberies and thefts…in my building! Yesterday Matthew found out his car was stolen from the lower garage. It’s behind two separate security gates! A handful of cars that were either unlocked or the sunroofs were open were also rummaged through including Zack and Dina’s cars. What the hell is going on around here. The police arrested some asshole who was breaking into cars in another downtown condo building and they seem to think he (and probably his friends) are the culprits. There’s still no clear guilty party and we still don’t... Continue Reading

Some psychotic on the 7th is going at it again, this time beating the crap out of his girlfriend. Yelling and screaming at 8am this morning. The front desk even had to call the cops. What the hell is going on around here?! I don’t want a maniac like that as a neighbor and no one, NO ONE should ever hit a woman. Hate people like that, go shoot yourself asshole. Hopefully he found his way to a nice comfy jail cell by now.... Permalink

So Primecast, our monopolized building dish service provider dropped the ball last night in a big way. I don’t watch too many shows but this is one I can’t miss. Last night about halfway through the new episode service was simply gone. The screen just sat there saying acquiring satellite signal step 0 of 5…. and nothing. So after 10 minutes of screwing with it, powering off, etc I gave them a call. Wow, Primecast sucks. I can’t believe they’re still in business. It’s such a rip-off and my building has a contract with them so we’re kind of screwed... Continue Reading

Last night I attended a Web Meet-up group down at Roxies in the hope of networking and conversing with others in my field. Unfortunately half of the participants were unable so show because it was postponed to Tuesday (normally it’s held on the first Monday of the month). Overall it was pretty cool and informative. I’m not much of a full blown programmer so the Ruby presentation was pretty much over my head. The CSS frameworks presenter was of those unable to attend, which was my secondary purpose for being there. The only thing that really irked me was one... Continue Reading
